I’ve gone for this one.
 

Assume it’ll be ok as you get sent the travel certification??

I would think not because they could be blagged. Have to go to an approved place.

Far as I'm aware the COVID NHS pass can be used as the Italian free pass. Im doing my double checking tomorrow however.

 

So NHS pass plus ffp2 mask should be all you need, plus for completeness, valid passport etc, cash, return flight booking and proof of hotel for solving border squabbles.

 

Check the date on your NHS pass as annoyingly they put very short expiration dates on the pdf, so you have to re-download every month pretty much.

I don't have a hotel booked as I fly out on Friday morning fso have a 6:00am train from Termini to Naples so no need for a hotel, but what I have done on the Covid declaration form is to enter a bonafide hotel in Rome near Termini as where I am staying so there are no issues with border security/passport control. I will still take the EU declaration form even though it isn't required anymore as well.

Aren’t the normal lateral flow tests that were previously free fine? You enter the code into NHS app and that’s that

Hi Mich, I'm also female travelling on my own so if you fancy meeting up somewhere for drinks let me know 👍

Sounds good to me

[JoachimWasMyHero]

No green pass required, all you need is a rapid flow test if you ain't jabbed up, which can be done at home. Scan the barcode job. Its all aload of bollocks.

Too much of a risk wearing a belt into the ground at risk of confiscation?

Just received an email froM Vueling who have advised only FFP2 masks without a valve are valid for public transport.  Don’t know how strict they are on it but just letting people know in case they want to play safe.

Just for info the Airlines are very STICT on it you need a FFP2 or they will not let you on the flight 

[Paddy_D]

Meant the part about not having a valve.

Indeed. In fact, I bought one if these once and have converted the pdf certificate to word, changed the test dates and converted the word doc back to a pdf. Bingo! 

 

An absolute fcking farce

Thanks for the heads up. To be honest I've never seen a ffp 2 or 3 without a valve so may have to rely on boots the chemist at the airport to find one.

I flew with Ryanair to Turin and back in March they weren’t very strict with what mask you had on, in fact the cabin crew didn’t have FFP2 masks on by the look of it, they looked like the cheap light blue ones they give away in shops

Yep just checked BA, no valve allowed into Italy.

Saying that I'm flying from Paris and some friends went last week on holiday and people with out FFP2 were not able to board so had to rush to get them in the airport 👣

[Hamilton Fox]

Do they sell these ffp2 masks at the airports? On Ryanair so no doubt they would try and charge £50 extra to upgrade your mask..

So for Clarity:

1) NHS Travel Covid Pass will suffice if you have had 3 jabs?

2) Locator form?

3) ffp2 masks?

 

is that it?  Covid req wise?

Locator form no longer applies

We arrived in Rome this afternoon.... There were NO Covid checks of any sort at Ciampino  airport.

 

They only looked at our passports NOTHING else.

What about on the plane / boarding? Any fussiness over masks?

Glad you made it safe anyway pal.
